My sites confirmed with PN.

Custom ID blank in settings and the campaign ID is the default campaign number in PN.

Looks okay there?

Running a report on that default campaign, impressions 0 but clicks 2194 and thats for this month. So looks like the clicks are going through?

But as a user they arent seeing what they clicked for?

Thanks for your help.

I split my campaigns in two, one for each site and this is confirmed. On my 3.8.4 board Im getting both clicks and impressions. On the 4.0.3 board only clicks and zero impressions.

Lets hope someone addresses these issues soon. Ill keep trying to figure it out but Im no coder. All I can do is fumble around until I get it right.

Dismounted did say he plans on updating his hacks but not right away.

[Reece^B]

So is the results im getting correct then? Your saying you have impressions but i don't? Also the fact that the links don't rewrite properly?

Also how can you improve EPC?

[Scalemotorcars]

Just to clarify, on my 3.8.4 board it works perfectly. I get both clicks and impressions equaling in cash. I just love that....

On the new 4.0.3 board its only tracks clicks, no Impressions and that equals a little bit of cash but not much.

~~EPC~~ Its my understanding the more people actually buy the items you link to the better your epc.

For example if you have a widget forum but your linking to new BMW's then your EPC is going to stink. Ill bet few widget buyers are looking for a new Beemer. But if you link to widgets and they actually end up buying those widgets then your EPC goes up. Remember its more in line with the quality of the link rather then the quantity.

Dismounted.... Please port this hack to 4.0.+ I'll be more then happy to toss some of those EPC earnings your way.... :up::up::up:

[Reece^B]

Right thats cool, however I need (hopefully Dismounted) to tell me why it's not rewriting links properly?

[Scalemotorcars]

Wish I knew, but I'm as lost on this one as you are.

Dismounted has always offered great hacks and great product support. Im sure that as soon as you can get back to this he'll port it to 4.0.

Hey Dismounted if it helps Ive got $20 to throw at ya. Maybe others can make donations to help with the time required... :up::up::up:

Seems to work fine for me on v4.03, although I'm not sure why ....

I'll gladly give a $50 donation if Dismounted can fix this.
